Observation details
Flock of 16 dropped out the sky with BHGs following the commencement of a heavy shower. All adults and almost all in full breeding attire. Presumably birds migrating overland (an increasingly regular phenomenon in South-East England in March / April) that were forced to ditch down in the rain. Pretty mega numbers for Surrey / inland and quite evocative hearing and seeing a small flock here.
